Explainer videos and interactive animation for tech brands.
Interactive explainers are becoming my favorite thing.
This was designed to explain a section of a web page with interaction.
What I like about interactive animation like this on a website is that it makes the webpage shorter and the user experience more fun.
I have been selling this approach to my clients lately; I can’t wait to do even more advanced experiences.
This was done in Rive.

Die Krans Laerskool — Primary School Brand Identity & Web Design
Industry: Primary School Education
Concept & Inspiration (Logo Creation)
Symbolic Heritage: Grounded in Biblical symbolism (Psalm 127:3-5 and the Fruit of the Spirit) and rooted in local heritage.
Iconography Integration: Weaves together five core motifs—an arched window of opportunity, a piece of fruit, a flourishing tree, radiant sunlight, and a mountain cliff silhouette (krans). Together, these symbolize a safe haven designed to foster growth, independence, and love.
Color Palette Inspiration
Nature & Energy: Inspired by the iconic purple jacaranda blooms, balanced with deep cosmic blues.
Warmth & Joy: Energized with contrasting accents of vibrant orange, warm yellow, and red, conveying enthusiasm and a welcoming learning environment.
Die Krans Laerskool is a primary school dedicated to nurturing young minds in a safe, loving, and growth-oriented environment.
The Challenge: Modernize the school’s visual identity while honouring its faith-based foundations, local landscape heritage, and commitment to holistic child development.
The Solution: We created a warm, cheerful brand identity centered around an arched window emblem that integrates symbolic motifs—sunlight, a flourishing tree, a mountain cliff, and the fruit of the spirit. Paired with a Jacaranda-inspired purple and vibrant orange palette, playful typography, and custom digital/print collateral, the new identity positions Die Krans as a dynamic, joyful haven where small steps lead to big dreams.
